Answer:

5 sandwiches and 7 granola in each basket

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Sandwiches with S and Granola with G

[tex]S = 30[/tex]

[tex]G = 42[/tex]

Required

Determine number of S and G in one basket

To do this, we simply need to determine the ratio of S to G

[tex]S:G = 30:42[/tex]

Simplify to lowest integer by dividing by 6

[tex]S:G = 30/6:42/6[/tex]

[tex]S:G = 5:7[/tex]

This implies that there are 5 sandwiches and 7 granola in each basket
